Re: [Mingw-msys] getopt error in msys Version 1.0.10

[Ardi <bozon42@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Michael,

binary would be more than enough for me.
It will only be used for the MikTeX local update purpose.
I would highly appreciate if you could let me have this binary.
I will try it at home and let you know whether it works.
Kind regards,

Ardi

Hello,

Unless someone does it for you, you have two solution:
   - compile getopt: grab the linux-util sources from 
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ and try to compile the 
getopt program. I did give it a quick try and got an error at link:
getopt.o:getopt.c:(.text+0x25e): undefined reference to `getopt_long_only'
You can just comment out the "_only" at the offending line. You
won't be 
able to have long option only but it should be fine for your need.
If you want the binary I have made, email me. I give no guarantee about 
it working on your computer :).

   - Change the script in order to use getopts instead of getopt but 
then you won't
 be able to use the long options.
